Description
The Curved Backsplash template combining 6-inch height with 36-inch radius delivers enhanced visual presence for curved backsplash applications requiring more vertical coverage than standard 4-inch designs. This template proves particularly valuable for installations behind cooktops and ranges where building codes or design preferences call for extended backsplash height. The 36-inch radius provides moderate curvature that balances elegance with efficient material usage. Fabricators serving clients who want curved design elements with practical functionality will find this template indispensable. The 6-inch height offers approximately 50% more coverage than 4-inch versions, significantly improving splash protection while maintaining the sophisticated curved aesthetic. CNC precision ensures the radius remains consistent across the full 6-inch height, preventing the tapered or distorted curves that can result from manual fabrication attempts. The template's proportions work well in both residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Overview
Begin by confirming your installation requires or benefits from 6-inch backsplash height, particularly in cooking zones or areas with specific code requirements. Import the DXF template into CNC software and position it to optimize material yield from your stone slab, noting that the increased height requires additional material compared to 4-inch versions. Program cutting parameters appropriate for your stone type, maintaining consistent speeds through the curved profile. The taller height demands extra attention to workpiece clamping to prevent deflection during machining. Consider the increased weight of the 6-inch curved piece during installation planning. After CNC fabrication, the curved backsplash should integrate seamlessly with adjacent straight sections or transition to lower height areas as design requires.
CNC Cutting Notes
The combination of 6-inch height and 36-inch radius creates slightly more complex toolpath requirements than shorter curved backsplashes. Program your CNC to maintain the 36-inch radius consistently across the full 6-inch vertical dimension, ensuring the curve doesn't drift or taper. Use rigid tooling setups capable of reaching the full 6-inch height without excessive overhang that could cause deflection. Spindle speeds in the 15,000-20,000 RPM range work well with feed rates around 35-50 inches per minute through curved sections. The increased material height provides better support for clamping but also increases the moment arm for lateral cutting forces, so workholding becomes more critical. Sharp carbide or diamond tools remain essential for clean curved edges across the full height.
Material Compatibility
This 6-inch tall curved template performs well across all standard countertop materials. Quartz composites handle the combination of height and curvature excellently, producing clean edges without chipping. Granite works well when grain direction is considered, with the increased height allowing more flexibility in orienting the curve relative to stone bedding planes. Marble's softer composition actually benefits from the taller profile, which provides more material to distribute cutting forces. Quartzite and hard stones remain manageable at this radius with appropriate diamond tooling. The 6-inch height works well with both 2cm and 3cm material thickness, though 3cm provides added rigidity for installation handling.
